A Charging Strategy with the Price Stimulus Considering the Queue of Charging Station and EV Fast Charging Demand

This paper proposes an electric vehicle (EV) charging guiding strategy with the price stimulus considering the queue of charging station and the EV fast charging demand. Firstly, a charging guiding framework based on the real-time information interaction is introduced. Secondly, the Origin-destination (OD) analysis is introduced to describe the distribution of EV fast charging demand. Based on the charging demand, a stack queue model is proposed to simulate the dynamic queue of EV charging stations, and a price stimulus method is adopted to guide the EV user to choose the charging station for minimizing the charging cost. Finally, a case is demonstrated to prove the effectiveness of the strategy. Copyright (C) 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
